Jon Bellion: The Musical

Scene 32

CUT TO:

INT. HOSPITAL 32

Paris and Rachel stand over their Mum, unconscious in a hospital bed.

RACHEL
Well, here we are again.

PARIS
I literally can't apologise enough, Rachel. I should never have gone out with Sloane. It was selfish of me.

RACHEL
Shut up, Paris. Do not beat yourself up about this. It was not your fault. No matter what Mum would have still have had the heart attack.

PARIS
I know. But maybe if I had been there I could have called for an ambulance quicker.

RACHEL
It would not have made a difference, Paris. The doctor said so. Anyway, she might pull through, you never know.

PARIS
Yeah maybe. It doesn't look very likely, though.

RACHEL
Hey, be positive. Even if she doesn't make it we've still got all those great memories of her.

PARIS
I suppose.

RACHEL
I'm going to get myself a coffee seeing as it looks like we're staying up all night. Want anything?

PARIS
A coffee would be great actually, yeah.

RACHEL
One coffee. Coming right up.

Rachel leaves the room, leaving Paris alone with his Mum.

PARIS
I wish this could have ended differently, Mum. Some things are just meant to be I guess.

Paris walks over and sits in the chair next to Mum.

PARIS
(singing to Mah's Joint by Jon Bellion)
Been watching you for months and I'm tryin' to find a way now
To tell you what I'm seeing, it's heavy on my brain now
It's only moving faster, you're only sinking farther
I see it in your eyes now, it's only getting harder

There's a house she doesn't know that I take care of
There's a light she doesn't know that I keep on
There's a "sorry" that I faked to keep her happy
When she thinks me hasn't seen you in so long
There are things that she's not able to remember
So I took tonight to put it in a song
That when she meets God, He'll tell her all about it
When your son was a mother to his mom

Conversations with the devil and he's telling me
What's the point in making memories when you can't even find 'em when you're 70?
Conversations with my Father and he's telling me
There's a point in making memories 'cause they'll be even better when we're heavenly

There's a house she doesn't know that I take care of
There's a light she doesn't know that I keep on
There's a "sorry" that I faked to keep her happy
When she thinks she hasn't seen me in so long
There are things that she's not able to remember
So I took tonight to put it in a song
That when she meets God, He'll tell her all about it
When your son was a mother
When your son was a mother
When your son was a mother to his mom

CUT TO:

Mum's birthday party years earlier play with instrumental of the song. Paris, Rachel, Cal, Eddie, Sloane and others are all dancing together with a brass band playing.

GODLY VOICE
For the mothers who are with us physically. Physically.

Yeah, oh
We doin' it for our mama's mama's mama
Give it up y'all for the mothers
Oh, oh, haha
Oh, come on
Tell your mama you love her
Yeah, uh, ooh
Yeah, woo, yeah

Mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Tell your mama you love her
Mama, mama
Tell your mama you love her
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama
Mama, mama
Mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama, oh

For the remainder of the song we cut back to Paris looking at his mum. Right at the end her heart monitor beeps and Paris begins to cry.
